Scott,
YES! And in my case, though I'm not rolling in money, I would have put out the extra $400 had I thought it would have been that much better. Unfortunately, it was not $400 better, and at best, I found it marginally better than the Digitech VR.
The other part of the equation was the actual use time of the vocalizer, which is quite limited. Bottom line was I can find a lot better ways to spend $400. In fact, that's what I anticipate that I'll have to pay for a back-up laptop, which will get used a lot more.
Good Luck, and I hope everything works out for you. At least you have the 30 day return option to fall back on.
Gary
